immigration has become the largest law enforcement system in the country and very much unlike the police or fbi, they operate largely in secret. so their arrests are secret, detentions are secret. today, for example, we have a story about immigrants with no criminal records detained and don't get a right to a swift and public hearing. put in jails and no one in the public has a right to know this. our criminal system is very different, because perhaps people don't want the public to know that they have been under arrest, but those public protections are there to protect the people who are -- whose liberty is taken away by the government. >> i really encourage everybody to read this. i was shocked by some of your findings. so you have another piece in tomorrow's "boston globe." a quick preview on that? >> yes, well, it starts with a 29-year-old woman from france who was trying to go back to france and she was stopped at the u.s./canadian border and jailed and she was kept in jail for 12 days, and an immigration agent made the decision to detain her briefly and privately and died 12 days later. >
